"These priorities were set by the Legislation Committee, which is made up of active party members from around the state. They represent resolutions or platform planks approved at our State Convention earlier this year," said Kealii Lopez, the party's chair.

"We believe each of these issues are high priorities, but we also recognize that legislators have many priorities of their own."

Josh Frost, one of the Legislation Committee's co-chairs, said, "The Legislation Committee members put in a lot of time on these priorities. In the end, while not perfect, this list reflects what the committee believes is both of great necessity for Hawaii, but also what is possible."
